To change the transmission fluid on a 2011 Kia Sorento, start by warming up the engine to thin the fluid, then turn it off and allow it to cool slightly. Locate the transmission fluid pan, remove the drain plug or pan bolts, and let the old fluid drain into a container. Replace the filter if applicable, then reinstall the pan and fill the transmission with new fluid through the dipstick tube, checking the level as you go. Always refer to the owner's manual for the correct type and amount of fluid.
Automatic transmissions today are very expensive to repair or replace. Each manufacturer has their own specificially formulated fluid for their transmission. Using any fluid that is not compatible may cause serious problems down the road. For that reason I highly recommend you use nothing but Toyota T-IV ATF and no substitute.
To add transmission fluid to a 2011 Kia Sorento, locate the transmission dipstick tube, which is typically found near the back of the engine compartment, close to the firewall. Remove the dipstick, clean it, and insert a funnel into the tube to add the appropriate type of transmission fluid. Make sure to check the fluid level with the engine running and the vehicle in park, adding fluid as necessary. Always refer to the owner’s manual for specific fluid specifications and procedures.

Always consult the owner's manual for specific fluid recommendations and capacities.
